Dear Friend of Hymnary,

As you know, we don't ask for money too often. But we're asking now.

So before you hit the "close" button on this box, please consider a donation to keep
Hymnary going.

More than half a million people come here every month -- worship leaders, hymnologists,
hymn lovers and more -- people who now have access to the most complete database of North
American hymnody on the planet thanks to this site. But keeping all of this afloat does not
come without a cost, and we have limited sources of revenue. So if you benefit from
Hymnary.org, would you please consider a donation today? Even small amounts help, and they
also let us know you're behind us and support what we do.
